Mulay Ahmed ibn Muhammad ibn Abdallah al-Raisuli

1871-April 1925/1288-Shawwal 1312
Morocco

Commonly portrayed in popular culture as an outlaw, perhaps most famous for kidnapping the American Pedicaris, he was, in fact, a legitimate contender for power in the North of Morocco and was made Pasha of the Asilah region in 1906, and left an architectural legacy.
